Ever wondered just how hygienic things are in restaurant kitchens? Just yesterday we heard a tale from a restaurant worker who gave us the scoop on lemons.

Ever wondered just how hygienic things are in restaurant kitchens? Just yesterday we heard a tale from a restaurant worker who gave us the scoop on lemons. But this doesn't even compare to a rather startling trend that's now hit two major fast food chains: restaurant workers who think it's funny to, gulp, take baths in the kitchen sink...

When I heard about two female Kentucky Fried Chicken employees in Anderson, California, who were fired for bathing in a restaurant sink that was used to clean dishes, I was instantly grossed out. To see pictures of the unbelievable escapade, click here.

But the story sounded eerily familiar, too. Where had I heard about this exact same thing happening somewhere else? Then I remembered that I reported on a similar bathing-in-the-sink story several months ago here on Vitamin G, but this time, it involved Burger King employees splashing around in the suds back in the kitchen.

I'm sorry, but can anyone tell me why in the world someone might be compelled to take a bubble bath in the sink of a restaurant? And pardon my wandering imagination, but if restaurant workers have little concern about stripping down for a dip in the sink, what else do you think happens behind the scenes? And do we really want to know?

__Does this have the same "eww" factor for you as it does for me? And, if you've ever worked in a restaurant--fast food or high end--tell us about what YOU saw back there in the kitchen. __
